The long whiskers catfish, Mystus gulio (Hamilton,
1822), belonging to the family Bagridae, is a
euryhaline fish, that is commonly called as “nona
tengra” in Bengali (Fig 1.) M. gulio is a commercially
important estuarine catfish of Sunderban delta of
Bangladesh and India. It also has a decent market
value in the states of Andhra Pradesh and Odisha. It
is a small indigenous fish species (SIS), having high
nutritional value. The domestic market price of M. gulio
ranges from Rs. 200 – 700/Kg. Its important attributes
such as high nutritional value, consumer demand, high
market price, hardy nature and faster growth make this
species a desirable candidate species for aquaculture
in Southeast Asia. Due to its euryhaline nature, this
fish can be bred and farmed both in freshwater as well
as brackishwater environments. In addition to being
suitable for co-culture along with other brackishwater
fishes in the paddy fields and bheris of the Sunderban,
Mystus gulio can also be farmed at high densities in
cage and Recirculatory Aquaculture System (RAS).
Expansion of farming of this species is hindered mainly
because of the unavailability of hatchery produced
seeds in sufficient quantities for farming. It was in these
circumstances that the Kakdwip Research Centre of
ICAR - Central Institute of Brackishwater Aquaculture,
West Bengal, India developed and popularized a cost
effective, farmer-friendly seed production and farming
technology of M. gulio.
